I keep promising myself a visit to Oakhill Park. I spent many happy hours playing there when I should have been at the Wesley Methodist Sunday school...spent the collection money on Beech Nut...but that's another story.
There used to be three chapels in the cemetery, all demolished long ago, the crematorium is built on the foundations of the center chapel.
Notice the headstones and vault markers close to the chapels are the biggest in the cemetery, these places were reserved for the movers and shapers (the money) of the borough. This is so that the people visiting the chapels would notice the families of importance, snobbery in death, allegedly.
